Unity 8 Fixes Privacy Issues with Online Search

Unity is the default desktop environment used in world's most popular GNU/Linux distribution, ie Ubuntu. Unity's online search feature has got serious criticism due to it's privacy policies. Unity 8, the latest version of Unity, will be fixing privacy issues related to online search feature.

The search in Unity has
been the source of serious debates in the past few years, but that
should change dramatically with the new Unity 8, which no longer needs
the current privacy tab that is available in the options.

We all remember the storm of disapproval that swept
over the Linux community when Canonical announced that queries in Unity
would also search online sources. The developers implemented an option
in the security entry, the Settings panel, to help users disable that
kind of online search. Now, Ubuntu devs are hard at work on Unity 8, the
current desktop environment on Ubuntu Touch, and they have made some
serious modifications.
